they can't just go totally dark. >> and he has a sudden affection for fema? you will recall during the republican presidential campaign which is an entirely different campaign from the one we're in now. he had a different view of fema and we have the video and we're going to show you that right now. >> fema is about to run out of money and some people that say do it on a case-by-case basis and some say, maybe we're learning a lesson that the state should take this on. how do you feel like that? >> absolutely. every time you have an occasion to take something back from the federal government and send it to the states that's the right direction. and if you go further and send it back to the private sector that's even better. we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. it is simply immoral in my view, for us to continue to rack larger and larger debts and pass them to our kids and knowing full well, we'll be all be dead and gone before it's paid off. >> so jeanne king is saying, including disaster relief. and that's when mit

the question for you this morning, is fema necessary? fema fever, it's back! everybody has caught it, including new jersey governor, chris christie, who toured the damage along with fema administrator craig fugate and president obama. one man, iowa congressman, steve king, thinks fema has a fever. >> i want to get them the resources that are necessary to lift them out of this water and this sand and the ashes and the death that's over there in the east coast and especially in the northeast. but not one big shot that just opens up the checkbook, because they spent it on gucci bags and massage parlors and everything you can think of in addition to what was necessary. >> congressman king, who is up for re-election, seems to be echoing the sentiments of some of his republican, including senator lynndie graham who said, quote, we can't borrow money every time something goes wropg in america and ron paul who asks, quote, why should people like myself, who not too long ago had a house on a gulf coast, it's expensive, risky and dirngous. why should somebody from the c

that romney is not interested in getting rid of fema. do you buy it? >> no, not necessarily. i mean, again, the problem with romney is we don't know which position from which time is actually his position. there have certainly been cuts in the republican congress to relief efforts. and i think this story really does remind us that the federal government has a role to play. the federal government can play a positive role in our lives. one of the reasons katrina was such a big scandal is for years, particularly under clinton, who really did a good job of reforming fema, we said, yeah, this is one of the things the federal government does well. and when states get into trouble like this, yes, they can do things for themselves, and they do a lot of stuff for themselves. but they've got to have the fed. so i think right now, he has no choice but to say, well, whatever i said before, i'm going to keep fema. >> e.j. dionne, are we going to be looking back on this campaign if romney losing saying it was the 47% tsunami, that it really was that t

sometimes people just think fema and don't think about the people behind it. but craig lives and breathes this stuff, making sure we're providing the help people so desperately need. i want to thank all the first responders who have been involved in this process. the linesmen, the firefighters, the folks who are in here shuttling out people who were supposed to get the hell out and didn't, you've helped to save a lot of lives and property. one of the things that you learn in these tragedies is the first responders, keep in mind their homes are usually under water or their families have been affected in some way. yet they make those personal sacrifices to help others. i'm just going to make a couple of comments. number one, and most importantly, our hearts go out to the families that have lost loved ones. it's true that the loss of life was kept lower than it might have been, but for those individual families, obviously their world has been torn apart. we need to make sure that everybody who has lost a loved one knows they're in our thoughts and prayers. i spea

questions about fema dogged the candidate. >> governor, are you going to eliminate fema? >> let's turn to sam stein and also joan walsh. joan, let's go to you first. this is where the bs meets the reality when it comes to mitt romney and what he really wants to do with fema. this puts the candidate in a tight spot, doesn't it? >> well, yes, of course, it does, ed. this moment really reminds me of that moment in 2008 when john mccain had his crazy reaction to the economic crash and wanted to suspend his campaign and go back to washington and looked like he doesn't understand what was at stake. mitt romney looked ridiculous at that rally today. he was talking about cleaning up a football field of rubbish. and i think it's civilly when you can't play politics. right now, we're having a debate over the future of our society. and things like this disaster relief are really quite pertinent. so it's not that he can't campaign, but go out there and take questions about what you want to do with fema. go out and there and defend your me first, devolve to the states attitude. but he
